I have the DJM 2/4 drop w/ LCA's and shackles and hangers. Installed the front arms and did what instructions said to do with the tie rod end link(2 or 3 turns inward) and never got an alignment..... that was 3 years ago...... still no uneven tire wear!!! You lose your ride quality but it looks good and is easy to install for any average person with handtools. Air tools are much easier though!!!!!

I had a 3/5 drop on my dakota. 3" LCA and 5" Shac and Hang. I thought it rode great. it had turning issues after the install. I took it to local road course and beat the hell out of it. After that it never had a turning problem again.
The control arms lasted about a year and a half. I was backing out of 7-11
with my wheel turn all the way and the driver side LCA snap in half at the ball joint.
I Will never own DJM equipment again
Just My 2 cents

i am running the lower djm control arms and the uppers. they looked great and strong when i first got them. the lowers have put up with some abuse for the past 2 and a half years. but the uppers are junk, they snapped on my and i pulled a back to the future move. (the lip of the wheel hit face down on the tarmac). i luckily had my intro wheel fixed for a great price. the lowers haven't given my an grief so far. i would vouch for them. another thing is, the mcgaughy's utilizes a stronger spindle than stock! you're going to be putting better parts on your truck and it will look better with stock control arms. if i had the choice again, i'd go with mcgaughy's!
